ok, i did buy 3 lcd monitors ...and test them out..before i decided to stay with my crt monitor...

I tried a viewsonic model...text was perfect, images were a lil noisy and movies, forget it, it wasn't watchable..

second monitor i tried was a samsung 940b...it was great unless the lighting of it was kinda too bright for my taste even at a low brightness level...so i got it back

and the last one was a samsung 173P....really nice monitor but kinda expensive but was good in all aspects except..the price was a lil too much for me $700 so i got it back for a refund....cuz im planning on buying a digital camera ( canon 350D ) and ive been told crt is way better for photography post processing and stuff..so yeah...

depends what u want, but i would wait some 2 more years as the SED technology will be available...it will be able to deliver crt quality on a lcd space...SED FTW!

The biggest disadvantage on LCD Monitors is the refresh rates, They arent high enough, I think they only suport up to 75Hz

Which is probably just a re-shelled version of another companie's monitor. I'm not sure if Dell makes their own or not, but alot of those companies will do that.

Personally, I like View Sonic or NEC CRTs. I have the 17" NEC MultiSync FE791FB and can't say I have any complaints about it.

Well being that graphics is my specialty, I use to use a dual display, Dell 1905FP LCD and Dell P991 CRT, the CRT kicks ass, but had to stop using it when I moved, the picture keeps shaking like crazy when I hook it up, something about electromagnetic interference, so its sitting unable to be used in my bedroom. Compared to my old faded CRT, the LCD is crap, I prefer CRTs, richer color, high refresh rates prevent ghosting or lag, and videos look way better compared to low to mid range CRTs. Short of using an Apple Display, for gaming I would go CRT dude. The best CRT out there is probably a Sony Artisan but that is for designers, gamers don't need that, any new model CRT will suffice.

Thanks everyone

HP vs17

I just got one 189.99 brand new on ebay. OMFG...It looks sweet, 17 inches

12ms response is OKAY...I've gotten used to it. Though there isn't much difference between it and my crt.

aren't these real expensive?
I don't think they're that common in the US and they're in the higher price range.


I personaly would kill for a Lacie or a Nokia monitor but the prices are off the wall.
